RoboForex: important information in view of NVIDIA's stock split on 10 June 2024
Dear Clients and Partners,
On 10 June 2024, NVIDIA Corporation will have its stocks go through a split. A stock split is a corporate action, as a result of which the company increases the number of issued shares by a specific multiplier and reduces the value of each share by the same multiplier.
NVIDIA Corporation will conduct a 10-for-1 stock split (1 share will be split into 10).
How will this affect positions and orders?
If you have open positions in NVIDIA Corporation shares or plan to open such positions, please pay attention to the following changes, which will be effective as of 10 June 2024:
MetaTrader 4 / MetaTrader 5 real accounts

All pending orders (Buy Limit, Buy Stop, Sell Limit, Sell Stop, Buy Stop Limit, Sell Stop Limit, Stop Loss, and Take Profit) in NVDA will be cancelled before the trading session opens on 10 June at 16:31 (server time).
